Many years ago Niwat was moved to work in the North. Occasional work performed in the forest You are also a government official. Giving you a lot of opportunities to travel to the forest Although you often get out of the forest But you don't really like hunting. Like to see the landscape and the beauty of nature more. You will only shoot animals if they are absolutely necessary. For example, for self-defense or being asked to help shoot a beast. That only interferes with the peace of the villagers Summer in a year after you've been to the North for a few years. Has work to do At the northern end of Chiang Mai Province, close to the Burma border.
Niwat and his boss and two other henchmen had to spend the night in a small village. One of the adjacent borders of Burma. When you got to that village, it was almost evening. Entering the village, he saw villagers talking to each other. Their gestures indicate that something must have happened. Khun Niwat's boss asked the headman, who knew each other well, saying that one of your daughters had gone out to find vegetables Collect mushrooms with friends And then disappeared The villagers are going to search. Knowing that, the boss borrowed the 3 flashlights that the villagers had to take. And then told him to hurry back in the evening Don't risk following at night. Because that area is a large forest May be dangerous to those who follow.
After taking a shower and eating dinner together Got more details from the headman to the missing woman When that afternoon Five six women Going out and picking mushrooms, looking for vegetables like usual, near the village. Different people dispersed When evening came, they called each other to go home. It appears that one person was missing. The rest hurried back and told them on the way home. It was the time when Khun Niwat arrived. To see him grouping together Mr. Niwat's boss asked about the beast. The village headman said that he had never seen him near the village for a long time. If there will be, they must go deep into the forest. A few kilometers around the village is a sparse forest, with some alternating farms. Which is unlikely to have a beast come close Or another thing is that the villagers are hunting animals on a regular basis. If so, they probably have seen each other. By about three o'clock Those who followed up with the missing women had to bear with each other. Without finding or getting any traces.
The next day, Khun Niut's group instead of continuing to travel could not go on. The headmen asked to stay and wait and see what happened to the missing woman. That morning the villagers dispersed in search of another, divided into several groups. At noon that day, when Khun Niwat was inspecting the documents at the village headman's house, he heard the noise of the villagers. Saw a group of villagers carrying a roughly made bamboo litter onto the bed, someone laying on it With a loincloth covering from the head to the calf Villagers who came along said it was a woman who disappeared yesterday, was bitten by a tiger.
After having lunch The boss, who has been with the villagers since the body of a woman bitten by a tiger, tells Khun Niwat that The villagers will hunt down the tiger that killed them. Using the method of sitting the carcass And they asked Khun Niwat to sit the carcass for their hunter. Khun Niwat had to agree to agree because he did not know how to refuse. And the chief begged you for help. Then another thing was sympathetic to the villagers quite a bit. If you can try, there are cannibals nearby. A village like this The villagers wouldn't be making a living for sure. The villagers' weapons were not good enough.
The method used by villagers to hunt tigers is known as sitting the carcass. Sniping a tiger with any carcass that the tiger has killed and can't eat as bait. For if it is a large animal such as cattle, deer, or people, then when the tiger is killed, it cannot be eaten all at once. It will come and eat again when it is hungry. If this method will work well, you must try not to touch. Or not going close to the remains Because tigers are intelligent animals and their noses are very sensitive to smell. One downside of the carcass ride is that Sometimes having to spend many nights sitting Than the tiger is hungry and then comes back to eat.
But for this case, Khun Niwat doesn't quite understand as well. Since they thought of sitting on the carcass, why did they bring the body back? Instead of leaving the corpse in the spot where it was found, Niwat didn't pay much attention to it. When asked to ask, he will sit the carcass for a night. And the next day we will have to continue our journey.
At four o'clock in the afternoon The chief told Khun Niwat that the villagers had already prepared a place to sit on the carcass To be ready to go Khun Niwat organized the necessary items. There is a personal gun, water bottle, coffee flask, torch, and rice wrapped with a bamboo tube for urination. A bamboo canister that is used for urine is very necessary. Because if going to the mall and if it is not really necessary There will be no going down from the mall at all. Until dawn or someone picked up Therefore, when urinary pain occurs, it will have to use a bamboo cylinder. It cannot be released from the top of the mall because it is considered one of the forest's mistakes.
The distance from the village to the seat of the wreck. It takes only half an hour to walk. Which is probably about two kilometers away from the village When you get to the place where the wreck will be seated Saw the corpse of a woman who was bitten by a tiger Khun Niwat almost turned around. Because they don't know what the villagers are doing That is, they tied the corpse to a tree. Change all the clothes Plus stir-fry your face and apply mouth to the corpse as well The boss hurriedly approached him when he saw that Mr. Niwat looked baffled. The chief then explained that all these actions were done by a Burmese man who had been in this village for many years. You have a job collecting herbs to sell. Help to cure sicknesses for the villagers as well The villagers call you Mor Man Man, this is the local language or Lanna language which means Burma. The villagers respect you very much. With your method, you assure you that the tiger that killed this woman will definitely come that night.
Mr. Niwat said to be honest. Knowing about it, he didn't want to waste time sitting on the wreck that night. The reason is as I said Tigers are very intelligent and sensitive to strange odors. Do not say, but take the carcass to change clothes, stir the face, and apply powder. Even moving shouldn't do it. However, Mr. Niwat could not refuse as the chief begged to see you. The village headman who is a relative with the hapless woman also raised his hand. Said that if Khun Niwat would not sit down and the other hunter would not sit. When he couldn't deny it, he agreed with his boss that if he heard the sound of a gunfire, he was asked to come and pick it up Show that the shot is complete. But if nothing happens In the morning Khun Niwat will return by himself. Was arranged according to the principle of sitting on the legs in general like that, even though in my heart I thought that There is no crazy tiger or tiger that will come and shoot it when dealing with such a prey.
Before the villagers and the boss went back That Doctor Man walked up to Khun Niwat and sent two ropes about two meters long, his thumbs. He said to keep him tied to the mall to prevent falling from the mall. And warned that he tried to stay calm when the tigers entered Khun Niwat listened without responding. Even if you are not a professional hunter But you have been doing it many times before. Shot many tigers Even sitting on the wreck had been But it is a way of sitting like a normal hunter. Not a weird way The way you've never seen it like this.
When Khun Niwat and the village hunter were already up on the mall The chief and the villagers returned to the village. Niwat checked the gun once again, pulling the slider to send the bullet into the magazine. Then put it beside the body The hunter sitting next to Check your gun Your gun is a musket.
The action of Khun Niwat and the hunter is the instinct of a person who has been hiking. Because in the forest there are dangers all around You cannot be careless. Therefore, after examining the gun well, I began to explore the surrounding area of the mall, which was sitting here, tied on a tree trunk. Big, roughly hugging Wide enough for two to sit comfortably. The loofah is made of bamboo, tightly tied with rattan, about 4 meters above the floor, in front of the mall is a courtyard. The corpse was tied to a tree that had grown the size of a thigh. About ten meters away from the mall To the left of the tree that binds the corpse is a thick bush. The tree that was used to bind the corpse, etc., that stood out. So that the corpse can be clearly seen from the top of the mall without any obstructions Then the distance from the wreckage to the store that he made was very close. That right, it should be about thirty meters away. For the right carcass ride Because it might make tigers smell the hunter that snipers in.
After examining the escape that was good Khun Niwat turned to look at the corpse of that hapless woman. She was tied with a rope under her armpit. Om to tie it back Then tied at another waist, standing style, both arms hanging at the side of the body Both hands tensed as if they were trying to fight before their death. Readers may be wondering if this woman was bitten by a tiger and not eaten by a tiger at all or how. She was eaten by a tiger on both hips. This is a normal habit of tigers to eat the meat there first. And if they come back to eat, they will eat other parts later. The unfortunate woman's corpse tied to a tree in front of Mr Niwat Just like a dead person's corpse in general, if he does not make up his eyes for the corpse. Both eyes widened, leaving a cloud of tears. Mouth open to see teeth When I got another eye make-up, it looked absolutely miserable and terrifying.
Good enough to explore Niwat leaned back against the tree. Quiet thoughts While you were thinking something fun Began to feel an anomaly of the forest in that area Felt that the forest was unmistakably quiet Because normally there should be some sounds of birds, monkeys, lemurs and insects. But this is completely silent. It's been quiet since when you didn't notice it. Then moved himself up and sat, wandering his gaze around He then tended his ear with distrust. Because of this unusual silence, it was a code of the forest. Shows that there is something wrong And you are looking for a cause. The hunter sitting next to You would have caught this code. Because you have the same behavior When I raised my wrist to look at the watch, it was five o'clock in the evening. The sunlight is still bright because it is a dry season. As Khun Niwat watched and listened to the sounds, he heard the rustling of dry leaves growing in the bush on the left hand side of the tree that was used to bind the corpse. Probably a small animal Or other reptiles.
Niwat tried to look at the sound with no recklessness. In a moment later, the voice sounded again. But this time, it was so loud that it sounded like the sound of a rather large animal. He grabbed the gun that was placed next to him and slowly released the trigger to avoid making a loud noise. A few minutes later, another sound of the animal in the bush was heard. But this time, there was a faint roar followed by a huge tiger's roar. Niwat immediately wondered how it got this close. Where neither you nor the other hunter could hear the slightest noise or rudeness Or is it lurking in that bush Before everyone arrives Before the villagers could tie the corpse And it lurks all the time.
Before Khun Niut thinks next The screams of a woman sounded in howls. It was the voice of someone who had been terrified and in great pain. Khun Niwat looked into the voice of the voice. It came from a woman's corpse that was tied to a tree. End of the wailing cry She raised her hand, raised her hand to slap it, when the ghost of the corpse raised his hand a few times. The voice of your descendants from within the bush resounded again. This time, it was the sound of a four-legged animal. The bush swaying and swaying Then the owner of the voice popped out. It was the largest tiger-striped tiger that Khun Niwat has ever seen. Its eyes were staring at the female corpse that was clapping. As soon as I saw the tiger The corpse laughed and clapped more often. Align the feet up and down. Act like a person is extremely happy The dragon tiger that emerged, walked towards the corpse, ignoring anything at all.
When it reaches the corpse Then gently lifted his front foot towards the corpse The corpse laughed even more. Play with some hands The tiger withdrew from the ghost corpse .Then clap your hands and feet The tiger jumped again. They both played like a cat, with the mouse it caught. Niwat is trying to control his consciousness very difficult. Try shaking the muzzle of the gun to find a target. But couldn't find a target that was good enough Because it turns its back on Then jumped and jumped If the shot goes in spite Not good at finding a target Then it will not die Will have to follow another track And if they didn't turn into a tiger, they would be in trouble. Khun Niwat turned to look at the hunter sitting beside him. Seeing him shaking, trembling, acting helpless, and where he was not able to fall down because of the rope that Mo Man had tied himself to the mall.
Niwat looked at the courtyard in front one more time. The tiger that had just teased with the corpse had stopped playing. It sits in front of the corpse. Staring at the corpse still laughing, clapping your hands, inviting you to play, but this tiger just sat idle. His eyes stared hard at the eyes of the corpse. It stared for a moment. The corpse slowly stopped laughing, and the hand that was hitting slowly Hanging down to its original state At that time, Khun Niwat felt a little sane. Because I think that the image is an illusion or that hallucination that can occur in the quiet forest. But then what you thought was hallucinating, it happened again. But this time it's even more terrible than it was before. It was so bad that it almost made you lose consciousness like the hunter sitting next to Or would have jumped down to let him know and then know how to escape.
Was the corpse of that woman Being stared at by a tiger, the corpse suddenly raised its head, glanced at the rest of the road in fear, before it died and looked. Look at Khun Niwat When the corpse met Khun Niwat's eyes, she slowly raised one hand and pointed to the mall. The tiger staring at the corpse Seeing the corpse pointing to the hand, it turned to look as the corpse pointed. Finished, it slowly walked slowly into the front of the mall Without taking his eyes off Khun Niwat at all It walked in until it was a few meters away from the mall. It then crouched down in such a way that it would jump up on the mall where Khun Niwat froze in fear until helplessness. Is about to lose consciousness already.
And in a split second, I felt that something was shaking my body. At the last moment, you drew a barrel to the face of the crouching tiger to jump below. Gather the strength that you have, pull the trigger. The sound of guns shouted through the forest. When it was finished, the consciousness that had been pressured by fear for a long time had disappeared. Came to his senses again at almost 8 p.m. at the village headman's house.
The first word that Khun Niwat spoke to was Tiger, and the head of the head, the headman, and Mor Man stayed together for a long time until they realized and regained consciousness The boss said that the tiger was dead. Because it was hit by your gun's bullet in the head The villagers had already carried him to the house. Niwat turned and gathered his courage to stand and watch it on the balcony. It's a real big tiger. This was measured seven cubits from the nose to the tip of the tail. That night, he was in a frightening state most of the night. As for the hunter who sits at the mall with Khun Niwat, it's insane. Then he realized later that his condition had improved almost a year from the day of the accident.
When leaving the village He had the opportunity to ask Dr. Man about the incident. He said that the ceremony he performed She learned from Burmese. When you were in Burma This is the first time that you have the opportunity to use the subjects you have learned. He said that if it goes according to what you learned That tiger was supposed to lie in front of the corpse of the woman he killed. Because you performed a ceremony to summon that woman's soul to spell the tiger that killed her. But I do not know what the tiger, it killed several bodies and spirits, ghosts.The possession in that tiger is stronger. Instead, it spelled the corpse to tell you the whereabouts of Khun Niwat on the mall. You said that Khun Niwat was lucky. There is something to protect He asked what was good. Khun Niwat said that there is no such thing. But before Khun Niwat goes to the mall You pay homage to Mother Earth. I wish you protection too Because you would shoot that tiger to protect the lives of the villagers. It is not intended to kill the animal unnecessarily. And Khun Niwat worshiped the Mother Earth every time he had to sleep or went to a strange place And it would be Mother Earth who saved Khun Niwat's life Since then, when you have the opportunity to make any merit You will dedicate the merit portion of the merit to Mother Earth every time. And of course The unfortunate woman who was bitten by a tiger. Niwat you can dedicate the merit of charity to her.
